Updated September 2026: The original 2025 Glacier Drop claim window for ADA holders is closed. This page has been updated because the old “claim now” instructions are no longer the correct workflow.
If You Claimed NIGHT in 2025
Your claimed allocation unlocks through Midnight’s Redemption process. Community allocations thaw in four equal 25% installments across the published schedule. The 360-day thawing period ends December 4, 2026, followed by a 90-day grace period for final redemptions.
If You Missed the Glacier Drop
If your ADA address met the original June 11, 2025 snapshot criteria but you did not claim during Glacier Drop, Lost-and-Found is the relevant distribution phase. Eligibility still comes from the original snapshot; simply holding ADA today does not create Glacier Drop eligibility.
Important Security Note
Use Midnight’s current official resources rather than old 2025 screenshots or wallet instructions. Never enter a seed phrase into a claim or redemption website.

Does Staking ADA Earn NIGHT?
No automatic ADA-staking-to-NIGHT mechanism exists today. Midnight plans future NIGHT block-production rewards involving Cardano SPOs, which is separate from Glacier Drop eligibility and Redemption.
